For all of us, life brings transitions and challenges. We may struggle with current experiences, as well as the way we are carrying the past with us. Transitions in life are often filled with overwhelming emotions and a therapeutic relationship can provide space and a place to navigate these moments. We all possess strengths and, in our work together, we will uncover those and provide opportunities to manage challenges. My approach is trauma-informed, strengths-based and client-centered. I believe that we all benefit from a place to explore and understand our own story.

Through my own lived experience, I can deeply resonate with the realities my Millennial and Gen Z clients face. Dating, social media, politics, finances, and demands from school or work can be so daunting. My main priority as a therapist is to create a non-judgmental, engaging, and approachable environment where you feel empowered to navigate these challenges together. Just having one of those days where you need to vent about your mom, partner, or roommate? There’s plenty of space for that too.

Do you need help navigating difficult relationships with family, friends, or romantic partners or hold unconscious biases and lack understanding of your lived experiences? This can strain relationships and impact self-esteem. Are you experiencing subtle but frequent discrimination, stereotypes, and bias based on your race and or gender? This can lead to feelings of frustration, anger, isolation, and exhaustion. Or maybe you are facing unfair treatment, lack of advancement opportunities, and biased perceptions in the workplace due to your identity. This can hinder career satisfaction and growth.
